Structured Literacy within an MTSS Framework
OSPI has partnered with Glean Education in providing free statewide professional development to all WA educators in Structured Literacy within an MTSS Framework.
The goal of the training initiative is to build staff capacity and provide teachers with the knowledge and tools to enable them to effectively implement Structured Literacy within an MTSS Framework to ensure literacy proficiency for all Washington students. This professional learning initiative was designed with three elements aimed at building capacity, background knowledge, and a common understanding of research-based approaches among Washington State educators, leaders, parents, & caregivers.

Lifelines Training
Lifelines is a wellness focused, trauma-informed program for schools based on the principal of the Competent School Community. Every member of the school community is included in the implementation of Lifelines. For this reason, OSPI expects that teams registering for in-person training, including a three year subscription to the online Lifelines curriculum, will commit to passing along their learning to others in the education community and to implementing the curriculum.
Each of the three sections of the trilogy will be offered on two separate dates. Please keep in mind that each session is approximately six hours and registrants should plan to attend for the full day. Please register for the following dates in the PdEnroller system.
